11th Annual Land O’Lakes Bioanalytical Conference
A New Decade of Bioanalysis of Large and Small Molecules
July 19-23, 2010
Devil’s Head Resort
Merrimac, WI
Developed & Conducted by Extension Services in Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Special Offer for Academic Institutions
Extension Services in Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy has instituted a new policy for industrial professional development programs to encourage greater participation by faculty, graduate students and post doctoral students at academic institutions. Programs will be offered at a significantly reduced price, based on space availability. For information about any specific course please contact Dr. James E. De Muth by email.
Global Conference Goals & Objectives
The purpose of this four-day conference is to provide an educational forum to discuss issues and applications associated with the analysis of xenobiotics, their metabolites and endogenous biomarkers in biological matrices. The conference is designed to include and encourage an open exchange of scientific and methodological applications for bioanalysis. To increase the interactive nature of the conference, the program will be a mixture of lecture, discussion groups and workshops. Goals associated with this conference include:
- To provide a better understanding of the bioanalysis of large and small molecule xenobiotics, biomarkers and immunogenicity in biological matrices;
- To evaluate new technology and share experiences;
- To gain insight into problems and issues encountered during the drug discovery process and the interface between drug discovery and development;
- To discuss current global regulatory issues affecting bioanalysis;
- To identify processes for improving the identification and quantification of successful drug candidates and their measurement, including in vitro/in vivo implications;
- To discuss analytical issues relating to drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics and their applicability in drug development activity;
- To discuss issues associated with information management, data handling and automation in bioanalytical laboratories;
- To gain insight into various perspectives on the drug development process, including industry, academia and regulatory agencies; and
- To evaluate the harmonization of methods validation, quality control and set standards for drug metabolite identification in studies involving bioanalysis.
